Sophomore internship search advice

Hello all,

I'm a sophomore at a top 3 LAC w/ solid GPA hoping to get an IB internship junior year, but am having trouble finding an internship this coming summer. Is it too late to still find a solid internship in VC, PE, WM, or really any finance-related job that will help boost my resume and prepare me for junior year jobs and job interviews? I've been looking for quite a while, and a few things fell through and now I'm essentially starting over my job search process. Anyone been in this spot and have good advice/specific jobs to look into this late in the application process?

Thanks in advance for any help!
